January Editorial: Why Fashion & Daily Routines Need Coincidences

From euphoric new year’s resolutions back to reality. Because famously, things won’ treallygoaccording theplananyway. However, this doesn’t implement somethingnegative straightaway. Sometimes, it’s even refreshing to know that planning every single minute is not even necessary. Whether it concerns the year 2019 calendar or a daily routine. Therefore, CARMITIVE dedicates this month’s topics different kinds of coincidences – with all its benefits, pitfalls and especially with a regard to its meaning in fashion.

“A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.“ Apparently, the definition of Oxford Dictionary explains the meaning of a coincidence pretty well. It also clarifies why it can be intimidating at times. In general,people areseekingfor anexplanationforevery situation – whether it is a complex issue or a simpleeveryday problem. If we fail, we feel uncomfortable. Just ask yourself, have you really met your boyfriend or best friend by coincidence? No matter how many “whatifs“ areadded, there will never bea definiteanswer. So it might be easier to say „it was a coincidence“ or maybe „fate has decided like this“.

According to the US mathematician and philosopher Gregory Chaitin, there is no prove that coincidencesreally exist. However, it is possible to let things take their natural course. This in turn, the British fashion designer Alexander McQueen proved at his fashionshow for the spring/summer 1999 collection. Within two minutes, the white dress No. 13, worn bymodel Shalom Harlow, was sprayed with neon green and black colors by two robots. Atthe end of the show, the dress resembled a pieceof artwork, which could only arise with the power of coincidences. So in the upcoming month, we will go into more variedexamples when it comes to the current fashion cycle with all its planned and random emerging trends, as well as in the world of music and in terms of social topics.

Let’s ask yourself, was it a coincidence that you just read this post? Who knows. 🙂 Either way, we wish you a great start into the new year and only the best for all your goals of 2019!

Yes I have often wondered about coincidence or what some call luck. It does seem like some people have everything fall in to place for them with minimal effort while others out in the same or more effort and continually struggle. Would like so say it is due to their behavior etc but often it is not. They are not doing anything wrong. Who knows what accounts for luck.

But this is a great look and that has nothing to do with luck but more your great styling skills.
